Ep 24 - Brian Smith, RDN, LD

Conversation 24:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Brian Smith, RDN, LD “Finally, I found something that fed my heart (dietetics). I truly believe that where your greatest desire intersects with where you see the worlds greatest need is where you need to be. If you are fulfilled, happiness will follow.”- Brian Smith, RDN, LD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Brian Smith.  I have to tell you, sitting and talking with Brian is like sitting with a friend I have known for a 100 years. He is so warm and welcoming. What I love about this conversation with Brian is that he has had multiple careers, has traveled around the world, was a star college athlete, brews his own beer, loves to cook, is raising 2 daughters after the passing of his wife and still lives a good examined life with much satisfaction. He truly embodies the definition of living his passion by being a registered dietitian. If you are someone who has found dietetics later in life, you will find a great connection with Brian. Also, if you are a student or intern, Brian is a mentor who welcomes you with open arms. I wish I would have had him in my life at the start of my dietetics adventures.   I know you will enjoy my conversation with Brian.
